Hello there I was wondering if there is a good IDE for game programming for Ubuntu. I've heard that for Windows the most used is Microsoft Visual Studio .NET and CodeWarrior. Is there an equivalent for this IDE's on Ubuntu?

Also what is the most appropriate IDE on Ubuntu to work on C/C++, C# and Java? Hope you can help.

Oh! I was just wondering this the other day. Your best bet is to go with monodevelop. It's the closest thing to VS

You can download a package for visual studio (or visual c#. Keep in mind that one or the other have to be installed) called DNA game studio that makes it really easy to make games for pc and xbox in c#. if you are a student interested in programming the dreamspark.com has a lot of resources. Some of which usually cost money, but through dreamspark, are free. You'll have to verify that you are a student though.
 
What I researched was that in Xbox and Windows, Microsoft Visual Studio .NET was the most used IDE and also CodeWarrior is often used. This is because modern games are basically programmed on Object Oriented Programming which makes programming 3D models easier. I dont know how they do it on PS3 or Wii.

Anyway I still don't know what IDE is good on Ubuntu for programming C/C++, C# and Java. This are also common used programming languages in the game industry.

like I said bro, try monodevelop, from what I hear it's the best option. It even functions so much like visualstudio

You won't be able to program C++ or C# on a Linux machine as they are Microsoft technologies (well, you might be able to using wine or some other windows "emulator").

If you are looking into games programming for xbox / windows though a good extension (or SDK's) for Visual Studio is the APP HUB (Formally XNA) SDK's :)
 
I'm not sure about C++ and C# availability for Ubuntu. I think that languages based on C are cross-platform.

Edit: C++ is an enhancement of the C language and is a cross-platform generic language. And C# or C-Sharp was originally developed by Windows, nevertheless is a common language infrastructure influenced by Java and C++. I think both can be used on Ubuntu or any other OS.

Ok, my mistake, you just have to make sure mono is installed (I believe its the .NET framework for linux/unix)
